Cuír/Queer Brazil Instructor: Carolina Castellanos Course Description:
Cross-listed with LALC 285-01.
Stereotyped as the country of carnival and licentiousness, Brazil combines a complex history of traditional, oppressive, and progressive values and laws. Same-sex marriage was approved in 2013, sex-correction surgeries are supported by the universal health care system, and So Paulo hosts the largest LGBTQIA+ parade in the world. Still, Brazil has the highest recorded number of murders of trans* people in the world. The goal of this course is to analyze the complexities of the literary, historical, and cinematographic production in Brazil of cur authors and topics. The course examines how self-representations and representations have created, challenged, promoted, and affected the LGBTQIA+ community. At the same time, the course foregrounds the importance of how Brazilians have thought about their own curness. This course is taught in English.

Early/Modern Crossdressing and Transgression Instructor: Amaury Leopoldo Sosa Course Description:
Cross-listed with WGSS 301-04. Why did crossdressing feature so prominently in the literary, theatrical , and cultural texts of the Spanish Siglo de Oro? How did these gender-bending performances captivate the imagination of writers, readers, and theatergoers? What were the aesthetic, ethical, and political consequences of this practice? In this course, we unpack the construction and function of this figure, we examine the threat this tradition poses, and we analyze these transgressions in light of early modern and contemporary theories gender and sexuality. While our primary cases are from Spain (Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina, Pedro Caldern de la Barca, Mara de Zayas y Sotomayor, and Ana Caro Malln de Soto), we compare these to examples from Spanish America (Sor Juana Ins de la Cruz), England (William Shakespeare), and contemporary television and film representations. Throughout, we consider questions of womanhood, desire, honor, vengeance, marriage, religion, nationalism, sovereignty, and resistance. This course will be taught in English with the option for FLIC.

Analyzing (In)corporeality in 19th-Century Chilean Literature Instructor: Angela DeLutis-Eichenberger Course Description:
Cross-listed with LALC 300-01. This course examines representations of mutilated bodies, murder victims, zoologically displayed human bodies, possessed women, diabolical beatas, burned devotees, sexualized bodies, and revitalized spirits. These stem from an era when the republic wrestled with the consequences of Chile's political independence from Spain, the occupation or "pacification" of Araucana, the sketching of boundaries between the Catholic Church and State, perceived clerical power vs. scientific and psychiatric advancement, acceptable societal roles and practices (particularly for women), and the move toward secularization. Along with excerpts from 19th-century newspapers and scathing anticlerical caricatures, texts from some of the most prominent authors of the era will be studied. These may include: Jos Victorino Lastarria, Alberto Blest Gana, Jos Raimundo Zisternas, Mercedes Marn del Solar, Daniel Barros Grez, Andrs Bello, Juan Rafael Allende, Pedro Ruiz Aldea, Rosario Orrego, and Ramn Pacheco. Whose bodies were being manipulated and how? Given the historical contexts in play, what deeper significations could such manipulations hold, especially in terms of (dis)possessions of power?
